Magnets in a welding shop.

I am very interested in getting some magnets in my finger tips, however I work in a metalworking shop and I don't know how that environment would affect my experience. I spend many hours working with mild steel, mag base drills (e.g. Jancy Slugger), angle grinders, and mig, tig, and stick welders, both AC and DC where applicable. Voltages range from 0 to 30 for mig welders and 0 to 150 for stick. So the question is, will I feel discomfort or pain from working in this environment

    My experience with iron filings say it can be a metaphorical pain, at least... :-)

    Thank you for the info. I can probably learn to live with shavings, they get everywhere anyway, but it would be most distressing if the electromagnets in the mag base drills pull the neodymium out of my hand.
